Angler Chat

Angler was an experimental app created at Bindle Chat. The app’s purpose was to facilitate more interesting conversations with your friends, discover new things that your friends are into, and meet friends of friends who have similar interests to yours. We believed that social media platforms at the time do not create meaningful connections because most things posted are to “look cool”, whether that was a quippy tweet or a gorgeous vacation photo. There was nowhere online (except snapchat) to share the more mundane parts of your life, the parts that you would often share in person with close friends or at gatherings with friends of friends. We aimed to fill that gap.
